介绍（中）	Herkomer在这里代表了一对男孩和女孩，他们想象着一次穿越森林的危险旅程，以自己的女儿和儿子Elsa和Siegfried为原型给孩子们建模。这一证据是在艺术家为1881年1月出版的《艺术期刊》准备蚀刻时制作的。在后者中，这张照片附有解释性文字，上面写道："艺术家的孩子们正在玩一种在德国比这里更为人所知的游戏，他们在一片森林（以桌上熟悉的老树为代表）中前行，森林里到处都是狮子、龙和其他猛兽。他们脸上受影响的恐惧被愉快地呈现出来。"出生于巴伐利亚州，赫科默小时候搬到了伦敦，在油画和水彩画方面取得了相当大的成功。在职业生涯的后期，他成为了一名出色的蚀刻师和mezzotint雕刻师。他经常选择受德国传统启发的主题，在这里唤起了一个类似于格林兄弟记录的童话故事。
介绍（英）	Herkomer here represents a boy and girl imagining a perilous journey through a forest, modeling the children on his own daughter and son, Elsa and Siegfried. This proof was made as the artist prepared an etching for the "The Art Journal"– published January 1881. In the latter, the image was accompanied by explanatory text that reads, "The artist's children, playing at a game which is better known in Germany than here, pursue their way through a forest (represented by the old familiar wooden tree on the table) infested with lions, dragons, and other beasts of prey. The affected terror on their faces is delightfully rendered." Born in Bavaria, Herkomer moved to London as a boy and enjoyed considerable success painting oils and watercolors. Later in his career he became an accomplished etcher and mezzotint engraver. He often chose subjects inspired by his German heritage, here evoking a fairy tale similar to ones recorded by the brothers Grimm.
